BRU crashes when I start it.

With "An unhandled exception has occurred in Bulk Rename Utility.
Bulk Rename Utility has to close."

e-mailed the two files as requested.

Thank you for sending the crash file via email.
Looks like the crash happens in: ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll
ExplorerPatcher.amd64.dll is the main DLL of ExplorerPatcher—an open-source utility that injects into explorer.exe to restore and tweak Windows UI features (e.g., Windows 10-style taskbar/start menu, classic context menus) on Windows 11. It hooks Explorer/Shell internals at runtime, so crashes inside that module are crashes in the ExplorerPatcher code running inside Explorer.

And what did you have to do to fix things?
